To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CLARENCE E. OLISBEE,

a citizen of the United States, and a resident in vertical section.

Referring to the drawing A represents a wooden barrel composed of staves having at one end a head a and embraced by suitable. hoops a. I The body'of the barrel, the head referred to, and the hoops may be of any usual construction. The barrel has another pearl l) which is designated the top head, said Lead being provided with a closure 1) represented as connected to the main part of the 'head I) by a suitable hinge b the closure be- I ing provided with suitable fastening means shown as a catch b I The barrel has connected with its head suitable depending arms or a ring 0 the flange of which is suitably bolted to the under side of the head, and the lower end of the flangeis suitably connected with the upper end-d ofthe liquid receiver D comprising not only the head (1, but a bottom late d and a cylindrical portion 02 The ottom plate and the head (I are both removed from contact with the usual heads 'of the barrel, and be-' tween said bottom lates and heads and the body of the barrel i have applied. a. non-heat absorbing or conducting material e; for

instance, as asbestos, fossil meal ,hair or any other usual material commonly employed as jacketing for hot ipes, etc.

The upper end d of the receiver has a threaded ring (2 in which is screwed a cap (1,

and the space between the top of this cap and the interior of the ring .or partition 0 1s filled in with non-heat conducting material of the same nature as that employed between the exterior of the liquid receiver D and the inner side of the barrel. In this way the liquid cylinder D is thorou hly incased a resisting material against t e action of ust been removed the receiver both heat and cold and the liquid can be retained hot for a very long time.

It will be noted that the artition 0 extends betweenthe barrel hea b and the upperend of the receiver D, and as said parti tion is an annular one it forms within itself a chamber which is separate from the space the receix er D at the With this construction between the barrel an sides of the barrel.

access to' the receiver D can be obtained by.

simply removing the closure 7) from the: bar rel-head and then removing the aoking ma terial contained within the annu ar partition 0 thereby to uncover the cap d which may then be removed. The partition 0 prevents any of the packing material outside of it from intelferin at all with the operation of removing the p ug (1 When the pjlug d has may be filled with liquid and the cap d, the packing material within the partition sand the closure I) replaced when the device is ready for shipment or to have the liquid drawn through the faucet The upper end d of the liquid holder D is providedwith a tube 9 that s extended outwardlyv through the head 6 of the barrel where it is provided with a screw cap 9. to close the tube when necessary. When the coffee is to be drawn from the receiver, the

cap 9 is removed, thus'enabli-ng air to enter the receiver. Otherwise, as the coffee settled, a vacuum would be-forined which would prevent the free flow outwardly of the coffee through the faucet.

The barrel at its interior, at the lower end, is provided with a series of feet h, one of which is shown in side elevation at the left in the drawing, and one in end View. There will be preferably three of these feet arranged as a tripod, and shaped to receive the lower end of the receiver and prevent the same from being moved laterally in the barrel. The barrel will be provided with suitable liftin handles m.

T find by the employment of a wooden barrel as the exterior covering 10f the metallic tank that liquid can be kept hot for a very much longer time than when the exterior is composed of metal as now common; and further a wooden barrel may be handled with less liability of damage thereto than a metal but any other liquid which it is desired to keep hot while shippin it from the place where it is made and to lie retained hot for a reasonable length of time, as during an evenmg. 4

Heretofore all tanks for holding hot liquids for shipment and use have presented metallic exteriors and the heads have been soldered thereto, and in case of leaka e in the inner receptacle the solder holding t e head of the outer tank in place had to be melted,

and consequently the repair of leakage became a difiicult matter.

In my invention where I employ a wooden exterior composed of staves it is only necessary to loosen the top hoops, slide them up a litt e and withdraw the head I), first removing the-faucet from the receptacle.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let-. ters Patent is 1- The combination with a receiver having a seenee faucet at one end and a removable cap at the other end, of a wooden barrel-inclosing said receiver, said barrel having a removable head to permit the receiver to be set into the barrel, said head having an opening therein situated in line with the cap in the receiver, a closure for said opening in the head, an annular partition surrounding the cap of the receiver and the opening in the barrel head and secured to both said receiver and said barrel head, said partition forming a space between said cap and said barrel head, and non-heat conducting material in said space and also in the space between the receiver and the barrel. l

In testimony whereof, I have signed m name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. 4
